LONGMONT

A drunken man who passed out during a fight with relatives was arrested at about 9:10 p.m. Sunday on the 1100 block of Red Oak Drive, police said. The 66-year-old man started a fight with a stepson he believed was eating his leftover Chinese food, police said. During the fight, he punched the stepson's face, and later fell on his wife and stepson, the relatives told police. The stepson sat on the man so the woman could get to safety, and the man passed out, he told police. The man was arrested on suspicion of assault, police said.

Police arrested a 56-year-old Longmont man on suspicion of obstructing police, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest at about 7:45 p.m. Monday on the 1700 block of Main Street, just a few minutes after they'd ticketed and released him for trespassing and having an open container of alcohol there. As the man walked away from police, he began yelling and cursing at three people who walked past him, police said. He then refused to stop walking when police told him to and tried to pull away when police put him in handcuffs, police said.

Boulder is pretty good at producing rock bands, and by "rock," we mean the in-your-face, guitar-heavy, leather-clad variety — you know, the good kind. For a prime example, look no farther than BANDITS. Full Story
